Foreign trade enterprises can act as agents for export. In our country, as long as a foreign trade enterprise has legal business qualifications and its business scope covers relevant businesses such as goods import and export, agent import and export, it can engage in agent export activities.
During the process of agent export, the foreign trade enterprise needs to sign a detailed agent export agreement with the entrusting party to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, such as defining the responsibility for the quality of goods, bearing of expenses, etc. Meanwhile, it should handle procedures such as export customs declaration, foreign exchange collection, and tax refund strictly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
In terms of risks, if there are quality problems with the goods provided by the entrusting party, it may lead to situations such as export obstruction, return of goods and claims, which will affect the reputation of the foreign trade enterprise. In addition, if there are problems in the tax refund process due to reasons such as false information of the entrusting party, the foreign trade enterprise may also face tax risks. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in risk assessment and agreement drafting before agreeing.
